Although strictly a flowering plant term, "receptacle" is used widely in Podocarpaceae literature, e.g., by Tomlinson (Int. J. Plant Sci. 153: 572-588. 1992). Spjut (Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 70: 21, 71-73. 1994) incorrectly used the term "epimatium" to denote the peduncle of Nageia and also the receptacle of Podocarpus and Dacrycarpus.
